Lexus Drops More Photos of LFA Nurburgring Package Ahead of Geneva Show

Not that the Lexus LFA’s exclusive Nürburgring package is any secret at all, but we haven’t really seen much of the supercar since we reported on it last year. Lexus is getting ready to show the special LFA in public at the Geneva Motor Show next week for the first time, however, and has walloped us with a bevy of new photos in advance of the event.It’ll be business as usual for this LFA, which starts at $375,000 before tacking on another $70,000 for the Nürburgring package, bringing the total to $445,000. With just 50 racing-inspired packages to be created, it’d better be special, so Lexus adds new wheels, a carbon-fiber body kit, and an extra 10 horsepower for the 4.8-liter V-10 (re-rated for 562 horsepower). The six-speed sequential transmission changes gear even faster, needing just 0.15 second as the LFA rockets past the competition. It looks more aggressive with the rear wing and reworked body parts, but it’ll still go from 0-62 mph in 3.7 seconds and retain a manufacturer-stated top speed of 202 mph.Since this unique LFA takes on the same name as the famous German racing course, customers will receive complimentary driving instruction on location in addition to a one-year pass to the Green Hell. Given the enthusiast appeal of the ‘Ring, we can’t say that doesn’t sound like a good deal.Be sure to check out the collection of photos below, and tune in next week when we descend on the Geneva Motor Show.Source: Lexus

Exactly! I'm glad to see someone has common sense! You don't hear people saying that they can get an 8 Ariel Atom V8s for the price of a Bugatti Veyron SS because it can go faster in a straight line and goes faster in the corners. The Bugatti has a totally unique ride just like the LFA. And many cars can dust the LFA to 60 but the LFA is faster at higher speeds and has one of the fastest cornering speeds ever recorded in a supercar. That's why it can beat cars in the Nurburgring easily.

I hate to be rude, but stupidity pisses me off. Read the facts about this car before you decided to falsely criticize about it's abilities. Go to AutoCar and get some facts. Read about Top Gear's fastest WET time ever, by a FEW seconds (not by tenths). Actually read about the car's Nurburgring times. It may be expensive, but the thing delivers. I doesn't have the history of a Ferrari, but it sure as hell beat it, and numbers don't lie. Times have changed. Hyundai is kicking Toyota and Honda's asses, and apparently, Lexus learned how to make a supercar.

Well said! At the end of the day, NONE of you have the money to buy one in the first place, much less a ZR1 or anything else. People buy million dollar cars when they could just as easily pick up a car priced less and make it better than the more expensive car, but the point is they are rare and owning one comes with prestige. If you don't like the car, so what.
Mustangs, corvettes, etc. are EVERYWHERE. If you see an LFA it will be an exciting experience.

Seems overpriced versus its competition. But if some gospel-spewing auto journalist says the car is the best thing since cold beer then it must be great. Remember that a certain auto mag once annoited the Chevy Vega their car of the year. Nobody on this thread has the personal driving experiences to verify any of this "drives better than a Lambo" or "is fastest in hairpins" stuff. So why get so worked up over it?

Admit guys, you hate it because it's Toyota and possibly because it's Japanese. There are PLENTY of over priced cars out there but the LFA seems to get so much flack for it. If this were called the Saleen LFA or SSC Ultimate LFA or if it were made somewhere in Germany then I think the LFA would get so much less hate. The majority of posters here bitch and whine about Toyota making boring cars all the effing time and when Toyota finally does make an exciting car, guess what?
Well, I could buy four ZR1s or a dozen Mustangs for the price of an LFA blah blah blah....we've heard it all before so go ahead and do it already. Go buy yourself a dozen Mustangs and find some other car to bash.

The Nissan GTR is a computery car. And who cares that you could buy 5 gtrs? That's like saying that you can buy 3 corvette Z06s for the price of a 599GTB. The 599GTB is a higher quality and is worth the price. Same with the LFA. It's a supercar that is supposed to be more about pleasing the driver than going super high speeds with computers but leaving the driver disconnected from the experience. The GTR does just the opposite of the LFA

Didn't you know that the regular LFA tied the 458 Italia on the Nurburgring and dusted several top models from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes, and other companies? And this car is even more track oriented and will totally walk over the 458 Italia and other cars. And don't bring up price because the LFA is worth every cent

You're a biased loser...You haven't even driven the car. You'll just have to trust everyone who has driven the car and they say it is one of the most amazing cars to drive. Heck, even the Stig has said in the Top Gear magazine that he loves it

People who complain that the LFA is expensive for what it does are retarded motherflippers. The LFA may not be fast on instant acceleration but it is faster at higher speeds and in the corners. Every single person who has driven the car say that it is fast, fun to drive, and as good as a Ferrari. Some say even better than the Italia. So what if other cars go faster to 60 than the LFA for less? LFA has still whooped many cars on the Nurburgring including the Lambo LP670 SV, Merc SLS, 599GTB, Gallardo, and has tied the Italia. The LFA is a well crafted, luxurious, and unique supercar. They could've added a DCT but added a sequential manual for better feel. They wanted the car to have a gratifying ride. I'd rather have an unforgettable ride that is pleasing rather than a superfast car that is full of computers. And if you are complaining about price you probably don't have even the money to get a BMW 3 series

Well at first I thought to myself, "70K for a wing and some orange paint!!!!!!" But then I read that it gives you a year pass to the Nurburgring AND lessons!!! Then I thought, "70K for a wing, orange paint, AND lessons on how tro drive!!!!!! .........ripoff" But whatever, the rich can and will buy it so F*CK it. And stop complaining, it's obvious you won't buy one!

Why Lexus (cough Toyota) is so much better than any other car company: They say they are. This is the same reason that Lexus is different than Toyota... because they say they are.
The real genius of Toyota has nothing to do with cars (which is why their cars are so boring)... the real genius is marketing. This is just another marketing ploy, and many rich people that dig their groupthink will purchase this car. Many others will see this car and think they should look closer at Lexus... maybe they aren't all boring.
Maybe they aren't, but I haven't known a Toyota that had a soul

OMGZ!!! LFA with super-sweet add-ons & tune! And I only have to pay $70K more???? What a deal! Where do I sign up?? It’s sOoOoOo much more awesomer now that it’s 66% carbon fiber & the price is even more ridiculous! All bow to the almighty LFA. No car is better in any category. At all
Unlike ZincYellowBlownSVT, I actually meant that.

Don't talk about speed, price, and the other crap y'all are burning the car for. I highly doubt anyone commenting on this page can afford any of the cars talked about and nonetheless a $400,000 Lexus(and I doubt any of you have driven or even sit in any of these cars). Just sit down, shut up and appreciate the car for what it is. Personally, it's not one of my favorites... but just look at the attention to detail. It's not necessarily built for pure speed either. I'm sure this thing could beat the GTR, a Ferrari, or Lamborghini on most tracks (Nurburgring for one...). So stop acting like a bunch of dildos and just look at it as a kid would

Amazing car. Exclusivity and build materials will keep its resale thru the roof for many years to come. I would bet most of them will see very few km's/miles accumulated. The very rich will buy them as an investment and a showpiece in their garages.

first the car has a ridiculous price is more expensive than a Ferrari, Porsche or Lamborghini, and also compared to the other giant of the Japanese Nissan GTR is much faster, cheaper and with a twin turbo motor 6 that is does not make sense but in sintecis the car looks good

How in the hell is a hand made $400,000 supercar a rice burner. So I guess a Porsche GT3 or a Lamborghini Superleggera are rice burners too. Yea, I would take a Ferrari over it anyday. But you have to give credit where credit is due. Lexus made a great car. Is it overpriced compared to the competition? Yes.

"rockets past the competition"??? That is the funniest comment I have read in a while!! I'd like to know what competition? The 12C does 0-60 in 3 seconds, 0-125 in 8.9 and top speed of 205 for half the price... 458 will dust the Lexus Failed Attempt as will the Gallardo and on and on... Maybe it will blow past an Impala, Taurus etc...

Its a rice burner!! No matter how fast it is....These ricers take what others have done and copy it....The designer of this car even said they had different cars to look at to get ideas. Lets see would I want to spend $400,000 on a Toyota or spend it on a Ferrari? whoom? Sound like a difficult question? NA!

OMGZ!!! LFA with super-sweet add-ons & tune! And I only have to pay $70K more???? What a deal! Where do I sign up?? It's sOoOoOo much more awesomer now that it's 66% carbon fiber & the price is even more ridiculous! All bow to the almighty LFA. No car is better in any category. At all.
I hear John Force is dumping Ford and gonna run a stock LFA Nurburgring. I mean, his car has 8000hp, but this is obviously faster since it's an LFA. And don't try to use facts or logic when attempting to put-down the LFA, because I will call you stupid. Try it. I totally will.
